Sign Up For Free DAM Workshop With AVP 08/17/21 @ 1PM ET
23 June 2021
Join AVP for a free, interactive, one-hour workshop on August 17 (@ 1 pm ET) designed to help you improve your users’ digital asset management experience. During the workshop, AVP Director of Consulting Kara Van Malssen will lead participants through user-centered exercises that DAM program leaders can utilize to create a more useful search, browse, discovery, and usability experience. In this workshop, you will learn how to:
- Understand users’ mental model of assets so that they can be organized and presented in meaningful ways
- Identify common search and browse terminology so that assets can be made findable in ways that match users’ search behavior
- Identify what users want to know about assets so that they can be effectively used
These exercises have proven results and are the same we use when engaging with our clients in diverse industries and organizational sizes.
